Don’t Miss This Tour With Alonso. - If you are coming to Costa Rica you can’t leave without taking a guided tour with Alonso. His tour is “next level”. He has studied for 5 years at university and really knows the jungle. He is a walking talking Google of the flora and fauna found in these biomes. He is also a very talented photographer too and can find animals hidden in places you’d never see by yourself in a 100 visits. You’ll go home with National Geographic quality pictures and memories to last a lifetime.
Don’t forget to bring a swimsuit.

Great Tour with a Great Guide! - Alonso was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and excited to see the animals. We thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour of Manuel Antonio Park. He was excellent at spotting animals and other items of interest. Perhaps more importantly he is respected by his peers and has built a network of guides happy to share sightings with each other. It is great to have one trained pair of eyes, it is better to have a dozen. We saw both types of sloths, howler and capuchin monkeys, Jesus Christ lizards, coati, agouti, many frogs, crabs and spiders. We learned about many plants and the history of the area as well. We have great pictures to bring home as memories. I enthusiastically recommend this tour!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Guided Tour - Our tour with Brandon through Manuel Antonio National Park was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we started, his enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the park's incredible biodiversity made the experience truly exceptional. Thanks to his keen eye, we spotted sloths lounging in the treetops, iguanas sunning, coatis foraging, mesmerizing boas, and a stunning variety of birds. The four different types of crabs—including the vibrantly colored Halloween crab—were a delightful surprise!
Walking through the mangroves was like stepping into another world, full of life and beauty, and the pristine white sand beaches were the perfect end to an already breathtaking adventure. Brandon's passion and expertise made every moment engaging, informative, and fun. If you're visiting Manuel Antonio, this tour is an absolute must, and Brandon or any member of Alonso's knowledgable team is the guide you want leading the way!

Great nature tour - We really enjoyed this tour. Brandon was an amazing guide! We typically do not book tours and I was not sure if it was worth going with a guide, but I can say it was 100% worth it. We would have missed most of what we saw if Brandon had not pointed things out to us. He was really knowledgeable and the tour was really interesting. The company was easy to work with, very communicative and made the whole process really easy. If you plan to go to Manuel Antonio I would highly recommend hiring Brandon as your guide!

Highly Recommend! Super Guide! - Alfonso is the most amazing guide for the Manuel Antonio National Park Reserve! I can honestly say he was the best park guide and truly loves his job. He is very knowledgeable and his English is excellent. He was able to answer all our questions and made sure we walked away with a love for the Costa Rican animals and nature. His equipment if top notch and allows you to see everything from the tiny ground animals to the monkeys high up in the trees. Highly recommend having Alfonso guide your nature walk.

Alonso is amazing! - Alonso was so fun and knowledgeable! He took his time and showed us so many creatures. We saw two-finger and three-finger sloths, three different species of monkeys, snakes, crabs, and so many other creatures. He knew where to find them and was patient as we walked. He took time to answer all our questions.
His scope was very powerful, and it helped us spot so many things in the forests that we would not have seen without it!
